ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
STORY: Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny is detained by Russian police shortly after attending a popular radio talk show in Moscow.
In December, a Russian court gave Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny a suspended sentence for embezzling money but jailed his brother for three and a half years in a case seen as part of a campaign to stifle dissent.
Navalny led mass demonstrations against President Vladimir Putin three years ago, when tens of thousands took to the streets in Moscow and St Petersburg to protest against corruption in his government and inner circle.
